Ideal Applicant
A small- to medium-sized Alabama faith-based or local education/community nonprofit with existing local relationships seeking modest general support or mission funding.
Good Fit
- • Organization is located in Alabama or serves Alabama communities.
- • Faith-based mission or church affiliation, or local school/community nonprofit work.
- • Existing introduction or relationship to local trustees, recipient organizations, or Birmingham-area networks.
- • Request size fits the foundation’s typical small grants (hundreds to a few thousand dollars).
Geography
Observed giving across the three-year record is concentrated exclusively in Alabama, with the latest year showing all grants to in-state recipients.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 9 distinct recipients (and 9–12 recipients in prior years), a modestly broad set for a micro private foundation, though the portfolio skews toward churches, school foundations, and repeat local charities.
New Applicants
Across multiple years most recipients recur and only one new recipient appeared in 2024; combined with the foundation’s declared preselection-only policy and no public application route, it appears unlikely unfamiliar applicants can easily enter the portfolio.
